Whitstable Yacht Club is delighted to welcome Holidaycottages.co.uk as a major sponsor in 2024, our third year of partnership.

The sponsorship will support a range of sailing and racing activities through the 2024 season including our premier racing event Whitstable Week, community outreach events 'Discover Sailing' to get non sailors on the water, 'On Board' linking with local schools and Cadetfest a summer week-long fun event for cadets. The sponsorship will also provide bursaries for sailing courses both for new adult members and for children to encourage more people of all ages to be drawn to the enjoyable pursuit of sailing.

Stacey Turnbull, Senior Regional Communities Manager at Holidaycottages.co.uk commented, "We are committed to supporting local communities in which we host our holiday cottage guests - and we know Whitstable Yacht Club to be a fantastic resource for the coastal town. Holidaycottages.co.uk believe in sustainable tourism, and water sports are a huge draw for holidaymakers.

"Holidaycottages.co.uk offer accommodation to suit everyone, from fisherman's cottages to chic sea view apartments. Visit www.holidaycottages.co.uk to browse our collection."

Whitstable Yacht Club Commodore David Figgis added 'We are delighted to be working with Holidaycottages.co.uk for a third year following a range of successful sailing events and membership growth in 2023. The 2024 partnership builds on that success with a programme designed to promote sailing and expand membership across all ages.'
